They are said to have bombed a very special car, a suburban, which is generaly used to carry high ranking officials. Well, that's the normal armored vehicle for US government officials and I believe more US Embassies have at least one of them. But I haven't heard anything about the bombing, so many you can give us some more details. Hawk

It would be a folly to underestimate the mad, maglomaniac enemy, like we underestimated Saddam, even Hitler. There are a lot more parallels with Hitler than people seem to be willing to make openly. Bush alluded to it in his September 20 speech, but we keep falling all over ourselves being so respectful to Islam that it seems we are afraid to call a spade a spade. 1. Hitler preached hatred of groups based on their religion and cultural background. 2. He exploited masses of people and spurred them onto hate-filled violent acts by playing to their prejudices. 3. He called for the extermination of certain races wherever they might be found. 4. Hitler sought to align himself with other groups to gain adherents whose hatred was directed at entirely different groups than the groups against which his core hatred was directed. For example, the Japanese were allies and were encouraged to engage in atrocities against other Asian races and against America even though Japan had no particular background with respect to Hitler's feelings about Jews and Gypsies. Now, go back to these statements, and see where bin Laden and his fanatics fit in. Pretty close match, I'd say.
